My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 688: The Awaited Subjugation

Another month passed like the blink of an eye, giving the Terra World a new atmosphere. In the past month, the Sacred Sakura Holy Land spread its influence to all parties willing to enforce justice and uphold virtue.

The Sacred Sakura Saintess posted many world-class quests with huge rewards for exterminating the great evils. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be rewarded, even if it was just information that would put a disadvantage to the evils.

The true purpose of such a big action was to indirectly show the world the Sacred Sakura’s dominance, allowing the other forces to exterminate the evils in their stead.

Moreover, due to the massive upheaval and movement of many hegemons, the evils became too terrified to carry out their evil plans. Not to mention the grand ritual, the villains didn’t dare show their evil nature to the outside world because even the world was helping Sacred Sakura’s cause.

It was effective in suppressing the evils. The plan began with the Terra World, but it would soon spread to the other mortal worlds gradually, but the target remained the same, namely the villains.

"Hmm, I’ve posted any available quests and bounties. Even the Sacred Heaven Grimoire can no longer find any hidden big villains..." Miko tapped her chin because today was nil.

She couldn’t post any quests because the villains had already been put on the wanted list, complete with their traits, pictures, backgrounds, danger levels, and rewards, regardless of whether they were captured dead or alive.

"Should we give it a rest, master?" Gabriella proposed. She wanted to report something, but she didn’t dare say it.

Miko closed the two floating grimoires and placed them on her lap. She turned around, looking at her eldest disciple. "Do you think we’re being so hasty, Gab-chan?"

"That... is all according to master’s plan. All your actions are always based on a great cause and purpose." Gabriella bowed slightly.

"I am aware of your concern. The others might not try to carry the quests. They might try to scam us instead, or worse, target us because they’ll think we have unlimited resources. However, the Heavens are always with Sacred Sakura, even without us around..." Miko faintly smiled as she stared at the clear sky.

Her mama already guaranteed Sacred Sakura’s safety and bright future by striking a deal with He-Dao and the 72 heavenly agents. Even the celestial spirits got involved in the deal.

"If possible, do not try to blow yourself out to bring down the enemy. Even if I am forced to reincarnate once more, I will ensure your safe retreat. Please promise me to protect the Sacred Sakura in my stead..."

That was what Elysia said last month in front of He-Dao and the 72 heavenly agents when they were gathered to discuss the plans for the Nirvana Great War.

"The Sacred Sakura is protected by the Heavenly Palace. As long as I live, and as long as the heavenly agents are still around, nobody can lay a hand to the Sacred Sakura’s roots and the Sacred Mountain’s region."

That was what He-Dao promised Elysia. Although, his intention for his self-sacrifice could already be seen. After he heard Lady Nirvana’s last words in the recording, he vowed to her name that he would eliminate the Sovereign of Abyss at all costs.

"..." Miko was silent for a moment, feeling somewhat complicated as she recalled that He-Dao went on his knees privately in front of her mama last week. He granted her mama the last first-rate hypergiant stars in his possession, but he begged her mama to find a 100% surefire way to save Lady Nirvana’s soul remnant.

"..." Gabriella bit her lower lips, feeling that her master would leave her for good.

To be honest, she didn’t want her master to leave. If it was just Goddess Master Elysia and the Elysium, her master who served as the avatar could ensure Goddess Master Elysia retreated safely even in the most desperate situation. However, her master and Goddess Master already foresaw something, and such a plan couldn’t be realized.

"They should be out of seclusion the day after tomorrow. Phew, I feel left behind while they all cultivate diligently." Miko muttered under her breath as she stored the grimoires back in her subspace.

The perfected version of the polyvalent cultivation technique was truly effective, but it could only allow those at 8th Rank or above to participate because the central core formation was powered by divinities.

Therefore, her mama invited all Elysium members, and some chosen representative elders, to participate. However, it was all girls because the technique hailed from the upgraded version of divine dual cultivation’s roots.

"Hi, there you are, Saintess Miko." Shiina flew down from the sky.

Shiina, Agent Brown, might look calm and composed, but Miko could tell the anxiety in Shiina’s eyes.

Miko took a deep breath, recalling the summoned heroes and their mission to exterminate the Demon King of Extreme Evil. So many things had happened, and the hero expedition party had not even arrived at Nacrax City’s vicinity even though two months had passed since their last meeting.

"Is it time yet, Lady Shiina?" Miko spoke, but her mind recalled her words to the heroes, saying that they would subjugate the great evil in at least three weeks. The problem was that the summoned heroes were so slow to arrive at the appointed place. Despite various obstacles, including the threat of the other Demon Kings, the Glorious God was there! So, their delay was truly unexpected.

"Yes, it’s about time. The heroes have now arrived at the cursed land, heading for the Nacrax City. The Glorious God sent word that they will be waiting for the Elysion Church’s force at the abandoned fortress six kilometers from the appointed place in six hours because they can’t risk a gathering too close to the sealing barrier." Shiina reported the situation.

She was so eager to finish what she failed to finish hundreds of years ago, but she was sure that she could exterminate that wretched demon king once and for all with her current strength.

"Hm, should we go now then?" Miko considered a few things and decided on that.

She notified her demon king slayer party members via telepathy, asking them to meet her immediately. After that, she stared into thin air. Although not there, she knew Agent White was secretly assigned to protect her mama from somewhere. "Lady Yuna."

"..." There was no response even though Miko waited for a few seconds.

Gabriella and Shiina tilted their heads, wondering what Miko could see over there.

"You called me, Saintess Miko?" Yuna couldn’t help it. She hid in the encrypted void well, but just as she could expect from Goddess Ely’s avatar, even such a thing couldn’t escape Miko’s vision...

"We’ll subjugate Demon King Alronuth with the summoned hero party as promised. Mama will be out of her seclusion overmorrow. Zi Xuan and Sakura will accompany you and also attend to all of your necessities here. I hope you are here, not in the unknown space." Miko explained her intention as she appointed Zi Xuan and Sakura for the task.

Understanding the essence of Miko’s intention, Zi Xuan put her hand on her chest and bowed slightly. "Please allow me."

"Alright..." Yuna couldn’t even refuse because Miko had already specifically mentioned it and arranged everything for her.

She was discovered, and it would also be rude for her to go back to the encrypted void because of it.

"I’ve been waiting for two months..." Shiina looked at the sky with her fists clenched. It was a short time for an immortal like her, but waiting was never pleasant, especially since she had to suppress her excitement and desire to vanquish that evil thing.

As Miko left with Gabriella to meet the rest of the party members, Yuna grabbed Shiina by the shoulder, whispering a reminder. "Regardless of anything, you will be in big trouble if Miko gets hurt, Shiina. So, please mind your surroundings, and remember, your role in this mission is not as the main force."

"I know..." Shiina nodded in understanding. She understood her duty and task, but she also knew that Miko already planned something for her. She would serve as the spearhead to exterminate Alronuth for the Elysion Church’s cause.

After patting Yuna’s hand once, Yuna released Shiina and Shiina walked away to catch up with Miko, leaving the sacred courtyard at the Sacred Sakura’s peak.

"Lady Yuna, we have tidied up your courtyard. If you need anything, please let me know. Erm, would you like a cup of hot tea?" Zi Xuan offered a cup of hot tea was perfect in the cold atmosphere of the mountain peak.

"Rua." Sakura placed a tea party set on the nearby stone table.

"Thank you for the invitation." Yuna faintly smiled.

She received a personal courtyard in the Sacred Shrine’s area, not as an important guest, but as an insider figure no less than an elder. She was only there to carry out her task, but she was partially regarded as Sacred Sakura’s person already.

With Yuna openly protecting Elysium Pantheon’s seclusion, Miko could put her mind at ease and go to the Caelum World right away with her party members.

Unfortunately, some people were unavailable because they were occupied by other matters. One of them was Alicia, the great mage. Alicia got chosen to cultivate in seclusion with the Elysium members, and the other witches couldn’t leave their outposts at the moment.

Due to the lack of mages, Miko invited her saintess friends, and surprisingly, they agreed and showed up in no time.

"That was so fast. I was just about to go pick you up. You happened to be nearby by the time I contacted you." Miko was a little surprised.

"Yup, we were in Sakura Town a few minutes ago. It only took a few seconds to get here with this free pass. Nobody will try to stop us at the border." Mingyue showed Miko her Sacred Sakura badge. It was given by Miko just a few days ago because she got converted partially, serving as Blood Moon Saintess and Sacred Sakura’s new disciple.

"Mm, it’s always a pleasure to partake in your agenda, Miko." Meiying nodded, happy to be specially invited because it meant she was also a special friend to Miko. She also got converted partially. With her new double identity, she ensured Frozen Cloud’s safety and formed a bridge for a myriad of opportunities.

"Saintess Miko, please count me in. The task ahead is so dangerous, and I’m afraid my silly little sister messes things up like the previous purge." Feng Xue, the Blood Empress, came forward with a concerned expression. She was not invited, but she volunteered to participate.

"Hey, I was just a little careless because of the siege, alright. I never, I never- ugh..." Mingyue voiced her protest, but her voice gradually became smaller as her elder sister looked at her with a sincerely concerned expression.

"It’s always welcome, Xue. You’re always busy most of the time, so I feel awkward inviting you." Miko extended her hand with an innocent smile.

"Please forgive me for my lack of contribution, Saintess Miko. I have resolved my past obstacles and hindrances. I’ll focus and stay solely for Sacred Sakura from now on." Feng Xue bowed deeply, realizing that she was already Sacred Sakura’s people, not Blood Moon Pavilion anymore. Her double agent identity had also been taken over by Mingyue, and she could focus on what she promised Miko.

Her seven servants soon bowed as well, but Miko immediately asked them to raise their heads.

"If you please." Jophiel held her master’s hand like a thoughtful escort to the princess. It was as if she was afraid her master would trip and fall.

"We’re ready to depart to the Caelum World now. Our other party members are already waiting there." Miko declared as she stepped into the teleportation array.
